A fuel pump will not cause overheating, a defective engine thermostat will as well as a leaking heat gasket or low coolant level.

SOURCE: MY CAR IS OVERHEATING BUT NO SMOKE...IT SAYS THAT

The most common overheating problem with the Northstar engine is a blocked purge line. It's job is to purge air out of the cooling system.
There is a small diameter hose coming from near the top of the coolant tank,this is the purge line.
With the engine idling,pull the purge line from the tank,if there is no coolant flow from this small hose,it is blocked and this will cause overheating.If the hose is clear, check for blockage at the nipple on the tank.Or trace the hose back until you find the blockage.The hose goes in to the engine to a crossover and comes out the other side to near the thermostat housing,the blockage may be there.

SOURCE: Overheating and change engine oil ... oil was changed one week ?

it seems like the radiator of your car needs attention. check for coolant level in it, when its cold. if les add some coolant and then see if the problem persists.
--than there are chances of chocking in the coolant pipes, may be they not reached to engine..  
--Check the chock,, that it is not turned on. 
--May be sum loosing nut in engine.

SOURCE: 1996 CADILLAC DEVILLE, NO POWER TO FUEL PUMP

Check for a burned fusible link under the hood. If you have power at the fuel pump relay, you could have a bad ignition switch or bad oil pressure switch...accordianman

Does the engine crank over with the starter, and did the vehicle not start after changing the fuel filter?

Hello i have a 92 mercury tracer 1.9 manual 5spd Where is the fuel pump relay located and could someone please send a picture of the area npt a diagram Car turns or wont start changed fuel pump do to no...

let me teach you fuel pumps , gasoline
some cars run the pump for 3 seconds key on. or running.
other only allow the pump to run cranked or running,
toss a coin , or read the service manual that will answer this..
first check fuses. not relays.
then check for 12 vdc at the pump cranked,
The ECU runs the relay and the pump, the ECU decides to run the pump or not.
A shop uses this thing called a voltmeter, DMM to measure voltage at the 2 pump pins cranked over.
and work from there, if voltage is good then pump runs and what is next FUEL PRESSURE. is next, and a bad fuel filter kills that.
or bad FPR..

Why isn't fuel pump pumping?

fuel pump power can be controlled by the pressure regulator that signals the ECM to turn on the pump relay to power the pump
check further afield from the pump as the problem is else where

2000 chevy venture. wont start. change fuel pump runs perfectly for one day. next day the van start and drives out of driveway sputters and dies. starts and sputters back home. change the fuel censor. ...

Testing is the way to a fix . Fuel pump pressure testing , electrical testing . Viewing engine sensor data on a scan tool . Instead of guessing as to the problem learn to test or take it to a qualified repair shop . Changing ECU without doing it correctly can cause problems that were not there before . PCM - engine computers need to be programmed , dealer only.

1991 dodge spirit.. ran great then next day wouldnt start. only starts when you put gas in the carburater.. changed fuel pump still wont start.. please help

usually if thats the only way it will start that means you have no fuel to engine. first off, check the fuse and relay for the fuel pump. next get under car at fuel tank and put your hand on tank while someone turns ignition to on. if the pump works. then you can feel it vibrate. a fuel pump only turns on a few seconds, to pressurize the fuel line. then when running its on all the time. check fuse and relay first before doing anything else. have a good one !!

Wont start or stay on

From the info you provided, it seems like it is not getting constant supply of fuel. I think that don't have a carburator. It has a TBI(Throttle Body Injector. You should hear a faint humming noise at the back coming from within the fuel tank when you turn the key on. Thats the fuel pump. Your fuel pump may have gone out.
